8-bit Super Mushroom HTPC Case Mod

I’m on a bit of a HTPC case-mod kick this week. After spying the Nintendo NES HTPC case yesterday, I stumbled across yet another interesting HTPC case mod. This one is nothing short of eccentric and something I would never have the patience (or will) to build. The builder calls it an 8-bit Super Mushroom HTPC Case Mod.

The build took about 50 hours and 1,500 wooden cubes to make. Below is a picture of the HTPC during the build.

The HTPC innards include:

ZOTAC GF9300 Mini-ITX motherboard

C2Q Q8200 Processor

9800 Energy Efficient Video Card

4GB of RAM

640GB Hard Drive

1 Case Fan

The finished result looks like this:

Pretty cool if not eccentric! And he even made a time-lapse video of the entire build process.
